Description

The 4188-DC-F-F00-MH is part of DPA’s acclaimed 4188 CORE Directional Flex Series, and is specifically the Directional Flex Headset Microphone in beige, featuring a 100 mm boom and MicroDot connector. Tailored for high-performance applications where speech clarity and physical comfort are key, this headset is ideal for presenters, conference speakers, broadcast professionals, and performers in demanding live environments.

What sets this model apart is its combination of DPA’s legendary 4088 directional capsule with a slim, flexible, and ergonomically designed headset frame. The 100 mm boom provides optimal placement near the corner of the mouth for clear vocal capture while avoiding plosives. Its cardioid pickup pattern delivers focused audio with excellent off-axis rejection, reducing background noise and potential feedback which makes it especially suitable for high-SPL settings. Designed for comfort and discretion, the headset is lightweight, humidity-resistant, and adaptable to both the left or right ear. The MicroDot connector allows flexible pairing with a wide range of wireless transmitters, making the 4188-DC-F-F00-MH a professional, durable solution for users who demand pristine audio and all-day wearability.
